48. w are significantly lower than those reported from a refinement based on the corresponding PDF G(r), and very close to the values of the goodness-of-fit indicators reported from Rietveld analyses. We, however, prefer to work with the PDF G(r) and not g(r) since the former scales with the radial distance r (see the multiplicative factor in the definition of G(r); eq 1) and is thus more sensitive to the longer range atomic correlations.
